The Record

STOCKTON – The 14-year-old son of Lincoln Unified Superintendent Tom Uslan died Sunday morning in an automobile accident in a rural area of Yolo County, just west of Clarksburg.

Uslan, who was not in the vehicle, was unavailable today to comment on the death of his son, Tyler. Uslan's other son, 16-year-old Davis, was the driver of the vehicle and was not injured.

“We don't have a lot of the details,” Lisa Walker, Uslan's executive assistant, said today. “We're going to give Tom and his family as much time, space and privacy as we can. As we have details, we will share them with the community.”

Walker said Uslan's cabinet is overseeing district operations in the superintendent's absence.

Uslan, 50, has been Lincoln's superintendent since 2010 and has worked for the district for 28 years. His wife, Laura, is principal of Delta High School and Clarksburg Middle School in Clarksburg.

“Your love and support are appreciated,” Laura Uslan wrote on her Facebook page Sunday night.
